Vacation idea please...........

In May, most probably summer rains would reduce the heat in southern India.
Coastal Karnataka, Bekal Fort Kerala / Vythiri, Wayanad kerala are good choice.
Coorg is also nearby.

There are many interesting spots. Whenever we travel, our reference is
Travelogues - Team-BHP

You can get assistance from

Karnataka Tourism
KTDC Hotels and Resorts, Hotels, Accommodation, Official Website, Kerala Tourism, India

Book A/C rooms only. It's really worth especially during summer in such humid
areas.

 

3-4 days in may, would be very difficult to arrange. most of the affordable and high end would have already been booked. last year around the new year long holidays (that was the only 3 days both my kids had hols at the same time) i could not get a booking in any place.

you have not mentioned children and also whether you people are adventurous and if there are no budget constraints.

in may during the peak holiday season with all school holidays, and heat, i like to think of different experiences..maybe bird watching, trekking and being one with nature in a little cool place if possible..kind of rewinding and energising before getting back to the grind.
(since i have grown up kids, and the hotel regulations are different, we look for homestays and family suites in general..)
and some of the places that i have in my book marks..to do places..

Wild Rock Resorts
Kodaikanal Hotel Villa Retreat, Resorts, Cottages, Homestay
Cardamom House
Letz Step Out | Homestay in Chikmagalur | Kudremukh Resorts | Karnataka Waterfalls | Ghatikallu | Weekend getaways from Bangalore
Rajakkad hotel - History - Tamil Nadu - South India
a prime example of the luxurious mansion unique to the Chettinad region
Banyan Tree Farm Stay

the mannar marine park / the gulf of mannar marine park..ffor the marine beauty..
Peak of adventure - The Hindu

these are places in tamilnadu..mostly. have not included others..
will add more if i can find any of the bookmarks..

 

@sanjithaa, what do you really like to do on vacations?

1. Do you usually relax by the pool? If yes, look for options that have a good hotel but not many tourist attractions? You dont really have to go too far for that.

2. Do you like beaches and like to spend time at the beach? If yes, apart from popular destinations, there is a resort called Turtle Bay Resort near Udipi in Karnataka. It was awesome. the resort was not 5 star types. So, it was economical but still had a private beach and less crowded.

3. Do you like to visit religious places? If yes, then look into Srisailam, Tirumala etc

4. If you like scenery/ backwater type of setup, then look at places like Kovalam in Kerala.

First decide what you want on a vacation and then take it from there. If you want to do a bunch of things, it defeats the purpose of a vacation.

 

Munnar is an amazing place for 3-4 days outing. Other I can think of is Kodaikanal, Yercaud (a secluded place). I heard that Ponmudi near Thiruvanathpuram is a good place, never been there though.

Kasargod is another good place, but not a hill station.

 

Have u been to Bangalore?nice place...

how about KErala? Houseboat? Massages?scenic beauty?

u can try yelagiri which is nearby or relax in Pondicherry

Srilanka..


u can can also check out Hyderabad ..the thing is when we think vacation it is only hill stations or exotic locations..u can try the above too..
